Victims’ commissioner survey also reveals about a third do not report rapes to police
Just one in seven rape survivors believe they will receive justice by reporting a rape, according to a survey by the victims’ commissioner.
The survey by Vera Baird gives a rare insight into the impact of rape in England and Wales and how it is prosecuted. It also found that about a third of the respondents had not reported what had happened to them to police, with 95% of those saying they had not done so because they did not think they would be believed.
